About

P-Vita uses patented biotechnology and AI driven production to convert agricultural waste, primarily palm residues, into natural, cost-effective raw materials for the food, beverage, cosmetics, and pharmaceutical industries. Its lead product, beta-carotene, is produced at 75% lower cost and 40% higher yield than conventional methods, using a modified algae strain and IoT optimised processes. Rather than building its own manufacturing plants, P-Vita licenses its technology through a B2B franchise model, providing production specs, training, and quality assurance to partners who set up and operate their own lines. This asset-light approach enables rapid regional scale-up while creating local jobs and new revenue streams for farmers.

Zewail city of science, technology and innovation

An Environmental Engineer, Mohamed excels in multitasking in highly competitive areas. Since an early age, he has been actively engaging in innovative activities that have undoubtedly shaped his habit of reaching his goals ,but other than being a highly competitive person, he also cared about some very serious stuff, such as involvement in global climate change discussions at COP 27 and COY 17 with UNICEF (mic drop!). This, along with his commitment to scientific studies and problem-solving, made him a pro in constantly advancing his knowledge. The latter inevitably led him to the winning project, P-vita.
